I'm going to give it a go - hopefully the advertising spiel about it being more like the social experiment it's supposed to be is true  

 

Not holding my breath though...

Unfortunately it does not follow the financial model C5 have settled on. There is no money in it and they can't do all of the pre launch work with the contestants that is needed to exploit womens' magazines, tabloids etc. A 'spicy' backstory is now a requirement of contestants.

I suppose that's the case - but I did watch a reality show on C5 recently where they put young and old people in a house to see how they got along.. encouraged them to discuss different values etc - was BB-esque but they weren't totally cut off and there was only a minor flirtation between a couple of guys.  It was interesting - I liked it.  It gave me hope.  This hope will probably die in a few hours.

Now that is more like it and I would really put effort into BB if they went back to that model. Besides what I have said above the other major irritant for me is all of the external intrusion. C5 just can't help themselves.

What was the show, Kaffs?

Sounds like something I would watch, if they make another one.
